Evolution Getting Started Packet

Welcome to Evolution Basketball. We are excited to have your child begin training with
us. We ask you to review the information in this getting started packet to better
understand how our program works. If you have any questions about the training or any
other general questions please do not hesitate to ask your trainer.

Information about training for PARENTS to think about:

- There are different types of training within the private and group training sessions. We conduct
the training sessions with three separate aspects in mind.
1. "General Skills". We look at the general skills training as something that all players need. For
example, ball handling, passing, layups, footwork, and pivoting. These are skills that are needed
before moving on to more advanced skill sets.
2. "Position Specific". These are going to be the skills that are needed to play a certain position.
For example, the post players will be working on their back to the basket moves, finishing shots
around the basket, and boxing out/rebounding. While the guards will be doing more advanced
ballhandling and passing skills, understanding attacking angles from the perimeter, and shooting
off of the catch and dribble.
3. "Shooting Mechanics". Teaching shooting is extremely important in the game of basketball.
The mechanics of shooting are very specific skills that take time to develop. Teaching shooting
form is something that we suggest doing in private workouts. Because of the specific nature of
shooting mechanics it becomes more difficult to teach the more players that are involved. Also,
each kid has different problems with their shot and getting to focus just on that players
mechanics can speed up the learning curve.

- Youth League players generally practice once or twice a week. At this frequency, there is only
so much that the players will be able to improve. Adding in a workout or two during the winter
season can greatly improve the players progress over the winter season. Like anything else in life
the more time you put into it, the quicker you will improve.

- No matter how good a coach is at any level they cannot focus on each specific players needs in
a team practice. That's where we can help develop each players individual skills. During those
team practices coaches are forced to focus on running plays, team defense, etc. They don't have
time to focus on the kids individual skills like their ball handling, passing, footwork, and especially
shooting mechanics.
